Mr al-Habib of west London very kindly donated this item to the Museum of Miniature Found Objects. He found it on the pavement in Cadogan Street, near Sloane Square, on Monday 5 September at 1.34pm, five minutes before a heavy rainfall.

This image is from my early Sunday-morning sortie down Brick Lane (if you'd like to see it larger, double-click on it), in the company of Gillian, a fellow graffitista. Having admired the street art in the area for several years, I thought it was time I contributed work of my own. I had an old Penguin paperback whose woody pages were yellowing nicely. I glued several together to get the size I wanted, then printed my image on to it. The inks sank into the paper, rather than lying on the surface, which gave the image a furry look, which I found quite pleasing. I like the idea of using pages from unreadable novels and out-of-date textbooks as an integral part of the work, and I plan to put up a new image around Brick Lane every two to three months.

I've just been to see the exhibition 'Watch Me Move: The Animation Show' at the Barbican in London. What a feast! There are some lovely and intriguing works by animators from across the world, people like Caroline Leaf, the Brothers Quay, Zhou Xiaohu and Lotte Reiniger. But it was Yuri Norstein's Tale of Tales that transported me to a different realm as I watched it. Released in 1979 by the USSR's Soyuzmultfilm, a Russian animation studio based in Moscow, it's a beautiful film and succeeds completely in the way Norstein's style and the narrative come together to evoke the quality of memory. And I like that about it very much, that I'm remembering a film about memory, in the same fragmentary way I recall memories from my own life.
